Volumes ix, x, xi of the Johnson Collection may be noticed as being specially devoted to the ladies of the court, who are represented as in the bath or at their toilet. The pictures in volume xi are particularly good, the most noticeable being a charming portrait of a lady wearing a high conical head-dress, and admirably shaded. From an inferior replica (B.M. Add. 11747, fol. 52) we learn that the lady's name or title was Malkah Zamāniya.
